Description
Understanding Lenin's writings requires consideration of their historical context. This sociological interpretation provides a detached analysis of his thinking on revolution and its relevance to social change.
The book explores four distinct topics: Lenin's analysis of revolution, the ideology behind the Russian Revolution, the revolutionary process itself, and the significance of Leninism for modern social and political action.
David Lane offers a concise and sympathetic account of Lenin's ideas on revolution, their implications for the rise of Stalinism, and their enduring relevance to socialist theory and practice.
